Piers Morgan insists he only talks about Meghan Markle ‘because she’s in the news’

He says it's the Sussexes' own fault for being in the news so much

Piers Morgan has responded to claims he is ‘obsessed’ with Meghan Markle, saying he doesn’t understand the criticism.

The GMB host put his frequent discussion of the Duchess down to the fact that she’s always in the news.

What does Piers think of his critics?

Speaking to The Express, Piers said: “I think along with Donald Trump, Brexit and coronavirus, the Sussexes have made themselves one of the biggest news stories in the last three years, and they don’t want to be left alone.

“So I don’t really understand the criticism; I’m a columnist, I’m on TV every morning, I’m on Twitter all the time, obviously they are the fourth biggest story of the past three years so obviously I’m going to be commenting about it.

He went on to insist he doesn’t have an ‘obsession’ with her, saying that his criticisms are valid. He accused the pair of wanting to “have their royal cake and eat it”.
